Monday, July 12, 2010

Note: This post is not appropriate for young children. And the older ones will be all, "Ooooohh! I'm gonna tell DADDY!!" so you might lock them out, too.

Spiderman's dirty little secret revealed:

Now that's a Dynamic Duo.

Here's one of the lesser-known heroes, Essenem Man:

He may not be much of a fighter, but he is always on the ball.

GRRAAA!! HULK TENSE!!

HULK TRY RELIEVE TENSION.

The good news: little Ryder had no idea why his mom was in such a hurry to cut the cake.

The bad news: everyone else at the party did.

Liz D., Kristen C., Mark F., & Rebecca J., I would tell you who my favorite superhero is, but I'm afraid it's a three-way tie.Note: If you're wondering, the second cake is supposed to be Batman. Obviously.

I agree, I thought it was the Swamp Thing (or creature from the Black Lagoon). Crazy.And the last cake actually isn't too badly done, if you don't mind the "subtle" comic book male... bonding hints... Ok, that's not easy to say without actually saying it...

Batman? Batman, you say??? I was clueless, thanks for pointing out that Batman masquerades as S&M man. I always knew there was something I liked about that guy.

I had to seriously leave the room after the Hulk, though.

Such sick minds work at Caewrecks... thank goodness!

Y'know they say that laughter cures all ills. I'm going to recommend my doc write a prescription to Cakewrecks for me, maybe I can write off the expense of my computer as medical? Certainly the book cost would qualify?

wv - phytemit.... why would any of these heroes want to phytemit, they should just go with the flow.

"Hey there Hulk, is that a gun in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me...."

Puts me in mind of some plush Hulk toys that came out at the same time as the movie which were anatomically correct in every detail - me & my kids had a peek and had to leave the shop in hysterics. They were taken off the market soon after...wish I'd bought one!

I really don't get it. I'm not at all naive and usually can see what people think is "wrong" with things (even though I think people use too much imagination at times to see what they want to see), but I don't see what's "dirty" about these. ??

Okay, I teach junior high. I'm used to gutter-minds all day, every day. But I don't get the S&M batman cake. What? Is it leather? The lips? I"m not seeing anything other than a really stupid-looking cake here.Oh, yes, I get the others. I find Spiderman and the Ryder cake very funny indeed (it's that junior high humor), but I do not get the S&M cake. If someone would give me few hints about what's supposed to be funny/dirty, I'd much appreciate it.Just call me clueless.

Love the last cake, made tears come to my eyes laughing (but then I have a filthy mind). I love the look on Batman's face, like he's looking over the shoulder of superman at what's going on there and sooo disapproving!

I think the reason some of us don't quite "get" the Batman/S&M cake is because we're not that familiar with the, um, err, toys? that are used during that activity. And yes, I'm implying that the rest of you are into S&M >;~) The only relatable image that comes to mind for me is from those scenes in the movie Pulp Fiction. Still curious? Search "Pulp Fiction bring out the gimp" on Youtube and flip through some of the clips. You'll get the gist of it.

I'm surprised that some people don't see what's wrong with some of these cakes.

1. Look at where those webs are coming from....2. The key word there might be "ball." Add another word to that and you might have it.3. An unfortunate placement of a line.... And maybe a hand, too.4. Maybe my mind is always in the gutter, but... just an 'awkward' placement of characters. :) And I don't know if Batman is looking on in disapprovement per se....

I wasn't sure if that Batman cake was a really, really bad Spidey in the Venom suit or a really bad Batman.

And because my comic-book collecting husband has me well-trained, I feel compelled to point out that Batman & Superman are from the DC universe while Spiderman and the Hulk are indeed from the Marvel universe.

I also think it is odd that people don't see what's dirty about these. This must be the cleanest minded community on the internet or something.

I can't think of any way to interpret the last one *other* than a gay superhero threesome in which Superman is inexplicably wearing mascara. And can you really not see anything remotely suggestive about Spiderman shooting giant streams of ropey white web fluid RIGHT OUT OF HIS CROTCH?

I suppose the second one is a bit more tenuous, if it hadn't been for the commentary, I might have just thought it was a bad drawing of Darth Vader, but once it has been pointed out, it *does* look much more like something from an S&M dungeon with a ball gag than Darth Vader, certainly more so than Batman. I mean really, what was the decorator aiming for when they drew the mouth like that? Epeccially if they were trying to make a Batman cake. Once it has been seen, it cannot be unseen...

And the third one, well I don't know, but I just can't stop laughing at the commentary for that. It fits the picture so well. If the decorator had just drawn the line of the shorts a little higher, or the hand a little further in almost any direction really, it would have been fine, but no no, they had to draw a picture of Hulk grabbing his crotch. With motion lines. And now I'm giggling all over again.

Stares hard at that second cake.. Batman you say. Hmmm keeps staring until eyes blur. Could be the Phantom for all I see lol. I don't think the wreckerator would know Batman if he snuck up and bit them then again something had to have attacked this wreckerator.. and that Hulk looks a bit constipated no wonder he is tense poor guy lol.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the mixing of Marvel and DC on the same cake. I mean, aside from the obvious (and hilarious) irony of the kid's name being "Ryder" these worlds do not mix. It's like a wreck within a wreck. haha.

The last cake had me laughing so hard that I was no longer making any noise, just sort of shaking and nearly asphyxiating from an overdose of mirth. It's like someone made a cake of a particularly kinky fanfic!

Ha. The "Batman" cake is much more obvious to anybody who has spent time running around in a "gimp suit" during a certain Grand Theft Auto game.The Hulk seems to be missing a hand, so I thought he was doing something other than um, giving himself a hand... oh wait, I guess that still counts. My captcha says "Syclizz". Sounds like a suss superhero name that might find themselves in the same battle as Orgasmo. I don't know why.

The super trio cake (last one) is very finely detailed and drawn, for having come probably from a supermarket. It would not have been a Cake Wreck at all ... if only there had been better ... positioning of the heroes?

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
